Reviews and Testimonies
The following comments are some of the experiences that clients had while working with us.
Three months ago, I never would have thought I needed a relocation service. But when we decided to get our house ready to sell in just three weeks, our agent recommended Cindy and Xan--and that made all the difference. Cindy swept through the house, packing away pictures and excess books and marking furniture that needed to be removed to stage the house. She hired a low-cost mover to clear things into storage, and provided great staging advice. After we sold and as we prepared to move, Cindy's service kicked into a higher gear. She recommended three movers and set up appointments for each to come make estimates. She advised on getting the best deal and drove home to the movers the need for speed and efficiency. (We had a four-hour window to use the elevator at our new building.) On packing day, she helped supervise the movers' packers; on delivery day, she brought a crew of three associates, unpacked our stuff, set up our closets, restored the china displays on our hutch--all in time for the movers to take away 98 percent of the boxes and packing paper. Without them, we'd still be unable to walk through the sea of boxes in our apartment. Cindy says ours was an easy move--but it would have been infinitely harder without Orchestrated Moves.
I am so incredibly grateful for Orchestrated Moves help with my move. Cindy was super-responsive to my web form inquiry, and also flexible about changing dates. On the day of the move, Susan was a delight to work with, and Judy did an amazing job in the kitchen, and Jill made my mish-mash of clothes into a functioning closet (something I literally have not had for years.) It seemed like the rooms from the old house had been magically transported into the new house, complete with shampoo in the bathroom and beautifully made beds. It was incredible! Most importantly, everyone had such a great, positive attitude and energy, and I was actually sorry when everyone was finished and had to go. I never imagined it was possible to have a positive, even pleasant, experience on moving day, but somehow, Orchestrated Moves does exactly that. Also, the pricing is more than reasonable.
These two women were a godsend as I struggled to come to terms with our rash decision to clean out our home in the space of three weeks. Friends and family didn't think it could be done and indeed it couldn't have been without their help! Alexandra and Cindy are a delight to have at your side in the inevitable moments of angst and panic that precede the arrival of the moving van.
I contacted Orchestrated Moves based on a referral from my realtor. I need to downsize from a house in which my family had lived in for 33 years. The women from Orchestrated Moves came repeatedly to help organize, sort, donate and haul away items. The owners Xan and Cindy have a proven plan to get the job done from the initial interview, to moving day when a team arrives, to empty boxes, and set up the house.
After moving from Arizona to Maryland, the thought of moving yet again simply overwhelmed me. Then I met Cindy and Alexandra, and I knew I was in good hands. They helped me pack, stage the house, plan for the move to the new location, organized my garage sale and arranged to have things sold at the retail shop.
Then they came on the day of the move to help me with the last minute details, like angels, arrived at the new condo to begin unpacking boxes and setting up my kitchen. At every turn, they helped make the experience of downsizing manageable. I was able to keep my sanity and my health, and because of their incredible energy, efficiency and humor, I felt their assistance was worth every penny.
Cindy and Alexandra know how to keep calm in the face of what could have been chaos, and were professional, friendly and got the job done. I wouldn’t think of doing another move without them!
They are truly amazing. I cannot think of enough good things to say about Cindy and her team. I did not have to worry about anything - and we were handling this from afar, so really needed to rely entirely on Cindy/Orchestrated Moves. They are incredibly cost effective, smart, competent, thorough, and amazing. I am beyond grateful. They also did our big move 3 years ago to Chicago, and helped us dismantle a 5 bedroom home in Chevy Chase. That also went perfectly.
Cindy and Xan made a stressful situation as straightforward as it could be, and knew exactly what we needed and when. They are very professional and well-organized, provided organizing strategies that I had not thought of, provided all packing and moving services, and handled all of the legwork for donations. They understand the particular dynamics of downsizing for seniors and worked very well with the staff at my mom's senior living community. I will be hiring them to help on future projects!
